Re: Modder brainstorming session

Understand.
Will the lifesupport use supplies every turn? If so that is a good alternative to modifying the fighter engines, although I know someone will find a work around, we're such devious...

Re: Looking for feedback

How about something with Pirates or the "Mafia"? Resources can mysteriously change hands http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Custom Race Feed Back

I've checked out most of the styles you listed. I think they are all good. I wish they all had AI's, I can only use so many for my own race and some are very hard for me to see on the screen.
Do you...

Re: really big games

How about trying a smaller Version of your map? If the problems are with the size this should help.
Sounds like even a smaller Version would be very interesting to play on!

Re: Modder brainstorming session

You would definately have to make choices. Since the bonus moves on the standard engines require you to use all of the same type of engines the choices could get hard.
I think it will need a lot of...

Re: Do Small DUCs suck?

Maybe the ability won't stack if it is attached to a component.
I did a little test of it Last night and got more variety in the "to hit" numbers, both for the fighters to hit and a ship to hit...

Re: Capturable Racial Techs

You could keep the racial tag on the items you don't want to have stolen/researched. I like the idea of components being able to be analyized, facilities maybe not. With a little editing you could...

Re: I do not know whats more adictive

If I had the time and a better understanding of how the AI files worked I think I would face your dilemea also. Thankfully I don't so I tend to play more and fiddle less. I'm also glad there are so...

Re: Looking for GOOD AI

Definately try the races suggested.
You may want to try this type of set up for a real blood bath. It makes for a fun game once in a while.
Small quadrent 100K starting resources, good homeworld,...

Re: Modder brainstorming session

Yes, I would like to see phased shield skipping weapons. Weapons that skipped specific armor would be neat also. That way you would have an even harder time building a killer ship. You could have...

Re: Exploding Stars

That event sounds cool. You wouldn't know if someone with a cloaked planet destroyer did it or if it was a natural event. Blame it on the Phong!

Re: Looking for feedback

The only one I have ever had was Babies Born. I didn't even know I was expecting!
I didn't realize your events were in the Dev mod. I'l be on the lookout for more surprises.

Re: Custom Race Feed Back

The ones I know of that don't have AI's are the Star Wars races at the Kuat Drive (kuatdy) site, at least they didn't have AI's when I Last checked. Beautiful shipsets though and lots of them.

Re: Do Small DUCs suck?

I think the only way to find out how fighters work is to remove all bonuses from the fighter and sample target ship and start observing the hit % of different size Groups.
If fighter weapons work...

Re: Looking for GOOD AI

Maybe blood bath was the wrong term. You do get right into the action though. You diplomacy and combat skills will be tested immediately.

Re: Modder brainstorming session

I'm the opposite.
I would like to see even more differances in the regular and phased shields. I would like to see the ability "skips phased shields" added. Then you could create phased skipping...

Re: Modder brainstorming session

I was thinking if the system limit was increased you could really get that "are we alone" feeling. Even with 255 systems I generally run into someone within 30-60 turns. What if you went 100's of...

Re: Modder brainstorming session

Nice idea. I think the AI would have a tough time handling it though. I tried a few games with colonize home planet type and atmosphere restrictions, this is as close as you can get to the few and...

Re: really big games

Sounds like a good idea to help the AI without having any "house rules" to follow.
Could you post one of your saved maps?

Re: really big games

The AI could always use work but the races in the Mod Pac are much tougher than the standard races. The AI has been reworked on some of the standard races to provide a generally tougher opponent and...

Re: Devnullmod

If you leave the HE modifier at -4 then some weapons will do no damage with the HE mount, their normal range is less than 4, Temporal Shifter for example. Some AI's use the HE Version of this as...

Re: What polarity can we reverse today?

Maybe they should hire the writers from the 3 Stooges. I read that they only had ~4 basic plot lines.

Re: really big games

Maybe the crash is related to the Max number of units. IIRC there were some Posts about a month ago concerning a limit on what the game could handle.
